EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12—Owner’s Manual
■Connections
• Connect mics or instruments, such as keyboards,
to channel input jacks 1–20 (EMX5000-20), 1–12
(EMX5000-12).
• Connect the main speakers to the SPEAKERSB 1/
2 jacks, and connect the monitor speakers to the
SPEAKERS A 1/2 jacks. Set the Power amp select
switch to “AUX 1-MONO.”
• If you use an external effect such as delay or
reverb, connect the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-12’s
EFFECT SEND jack to the input jack of the exter-
nal effect, and connect the output jack of the
external effect to the EMX5000-20/EMX5000-
12’s ST SUB IN 1.
■Sending an independent mix to the monitor speakers
1Set the AUX 1 fader to the “0” position.
2Raise the AUX 1 controls for the channels
that you wish to hear from the monitor
speakers. Turn the AUX 1 POST switch off,
in the unpressed (pre-fader) position.
3Use the AUX 1 OUT fader of the master
section to adjust the overall volume.
■Using an external effect processor
You may sometimes want to use an external effect
processor.
Follow the steps below.
1Raise the EFF 1 (or EFF 2) controls for the
channels to which you want the external
effect to be applied.
2Adjust the level of the signal output to
the external effects processor so that the
sound will not be distorted at the input of
the external effects processor.
3Use the control of the ST SUB IN channel
to which the processed signal is input
from the external effects processor to
adjust the level of the effect sound.
Note: If you are using an external effect, we
recommend that you turn down all the EF-
FECT controls of the digital effect section.
You can connect the output of an external ef-
fect to channels 17/18 and 19/20 (EMX5000-
20), 9/10 and 11/12 (EMX5000-12) to apply the
equalizer to the effect return signal. However in
this case, make sure that the EFF 1 (or EFF 2)
controls are turned all the way down for the
channels into which the effect sound is being
input. If the EFF 1 (or EFF 2) controls are
raised, feedback will occur, and your speakers
may be damaged.
Note: The AUX controls are not affected by the
level settings of each channel. This allows you
to create a mix that is independent of the main
speakers.
